好彩一走势图:Vegetarian dining in eastern Singapore

Published on 11 Mar 2019.

Going meat-free in Singapore guarantees you a meal every bit as delectable as those meant for non-vegetarians. Ice cream, authentic Peranakan* nosh, and even burgers with all the works are just a few vegan- and vegetarian-friendly dishes you can find in the eastern part of the island. Here are five restaurants worth checking out.

*The term is an Indonesian/Malay word that means “local born”, which generally refers to people of Chinese and Malay/Indonesian heritage.

Soul Alife

For all-day brunch

With a completely plant-based menu, Soul Alife offers up a range of Western-inspired fare that’s big on flavour as well as nutritious.

Visitors can nosh on a variety of burgers, rice bowls and comfort food like Mac and Cheese, but the star attraction here is undoubtedly their all-day brunch menu. Opt for their Big Breakfast, which replaces cholesterol-heavy staples like bacon and eggs with vegetarian substitutes like sautéed mushrooms and tofu.

VeganBurg

For juicy, meatless burgers

Founded in 2010, VeganBurg claims to be the world’s first burger joint that uses 100% plant-based and GMO-free patties. Pick from nine burgers, including the delicious Smoky BBQ Burger, which stars a mushroom patty slathered in smoky barbecue sauce and topped with onions, pickles and a slice of tomato. Be sure to also try the umami-rich seaweed fries and for dessert, the refreshing chocolate and coconut sherbet.

Yes Natural Vegetarian Restaurant

For traditional Chinese vegetarian meals

Wholesome Chinese food for both vegetarians and vegans is the order of the day at Yes Natural Vegetarian Restaurant. The eatery’s signature dish is a plate of fresh veggie noodles served with almond sauce; it’s a delightfully textural treat thanks to the crunchy shredded vegetables. The restaurant also operates a retail and bakery arm, offering vegan options like eggless cakes and red rice loaves laced with red rice grains.

Loving Hut

For reimagined hawker fare

Loving Hut is a vegan restaurant that doles out Peranakan, Asian and Western fare. Go local with a bowl of mee siam (a Malay dish of rice vermicelli that’s served in a sweet and sour gravy) or the oyster-free orh lua, which is a wok-fried omelette that comes with a side of chilli sauce. Or if you’re feeling particularly hungry, try nasi campur ; it’s a simple rice dish that’s served on a banana leaf, and comes with pickled fruit, spicy eggplant, tofu and green vegetables. There’s also Western grub on the menu, including an almond crumb fillet and a pan-fried portobello mushroom with mashed potato.

North South East West Fusion Vegetarian Cuisine

For vegetarian hot pot

True to its name, North South East West Fusion Vegetarian Cuisine has a huge variety of dishes on its menu that spans Chinese, Thai and Western cuisines. The hot pot set is the highlight here. Pick a vegetable or tom yum (sour and spicy Thai soup) broth, then dunk in ingredients such as mushroom, spinach, and mock seafood and meat for a feast with friends and family. Other dishes on the menu include Hawaiian pizza, chicken rice served with mock meat, and mushroom burgers.
